CHRISTOPHE DECARNIN
Before we begin here's a little random information we found on the topic:
"People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky...
Thankfully we here at Joonbug don't believe that you have to be born within this realm to receive some of it's benefits. Who are some of our picks for the virtuously-reserved, talented, and ambitiously-articulate?
French Shoe Designer - Christian Louboutin
Oddly, it always slips my mind that Balmain carries a men's bevy. Maybe it's because I have yet to meet the man who spends his entire trust fund making purchases from the label - only then to promise me a lifetime full of Balenciaga gifts and late night dinners with Nicolas Ghesquiere.
But, they do indeed have a menswear line, as well as a newly launched sunglasses bevy in collaboration with Oliver Peoples.
The apparel collection showed typical scruffy prep looks, with stripes, prints and a lot of dreadful khaki trousers to be paired with the oversized aviators the label is now marketing.
Though the items aren't as nearly desirable as the women's bevy - it doesn't hurt to glance.
It's quite pleasing when a model doesn't feel compelled to embark on a career as an actress. A host or guest reporter? Okay. But Oscar-chasing gals who depend on their designer friends for red carpet looks - no thank you!
Coco Rocha, on the other hand, is very adorable. The supermodel, who has walked her massive share of runways, lent a few lines to a reporting gig sometime last year, which has led to her latest assignment from ET Canada - reporting from the Grammys later this month. However, Coco knows when enough is enough. Most importantly, she knows when to return to the runway. Only this time, Coco hints that she won't be walking out until the end, to take a bow for her own show. At least, that's what she hopes is to come in September. The model-turned-designer has been working on a dress collection - the name of which she promises will be phenomenal, but remains a secret. She hints to The Daily that she believes in high fashion, affordable clothing, and loves the Victorian 1800s. With so much on her plate, who knows if we will ever see her sly smirk on the catwalk again?
Just weeks after Lara Stone showed the world she's capable of competing in more than one tongue wrestling match with boyfriend, British comedian David Walliams, Stone and Walliams (moreso Walliams) announced their recent engagement.
Take that Kate Moss!
Walliams suprised Stone on a job in Brazil, subsequent to receiving blessings from Stone' parents.
Her ring?
Well, in humble model fashion of course, it looks very delicate - with a large stone, surrounded by several complementing diamonds - and it's vintage
Even better, Walliams is rumored to have already requested Giles Deacon to design for the wedding. Where did this man come from, and are there anymore left?
I recall arriving tardy to Marc Jacobs' fashion week presentation in September, since he now begins on time. Regretfully, Lady Gaga wasn't punctual either - and although I was distracted by Anna Wintour and her fur protestors - I didn't assume too much of Lady Gaga's first major fashion week appearance, with a sweltering after party performance in tow. Yes, she met Madonna during her debut, but big deal - she has further intentions. Today, I am beginning a private countdown until Lady Gaga initiates her own fashion label with some major fashion influencers. Oh? You thought she was going to shadow Victoria Beckham? No, no girlfriend - Lady Gaga wears McQueen, virtually before it's even sketched. I foresee that she will have a bevy of heavy hitters in line behind her. I am wishing on a star for a Nicolas Ghesquiere encounter, or maybe even a Christophe Decarnin. Oh, the delightful desire! Anyhow, enough fantasy rambling. The Gaga is returning to fashion week this forthcoming season, kicking it off with amfAR's annual New York gala fund-raiser. Regardless of the guest list, just watch out for Carine Roitfield's surefire appearance.
